Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Deployment -- why marker files?

Thanks; this discussion got me motivated to fire up my old Winx XP laptop and figure out how to do 'touch'. I wanted to add Windows-variants to that README. COPY /B foo.war.dodeploy+,, doesn't seem to work, but either of these did: type nul >> foo.war.dodeploy copy nul >> foo.war.dodeploy

If anyone has a Win 7 machine and can confirm either of those still work, that would be great. On 4/12/11 12:01 PM, Dimitris Andreadis wrote: > There is so standard 'touch' on windows.
